The Sir•'n of La Prensa. .
La Prensa is the greatest and most
influential Paper in South America. Its
offices are in Bueu•ts Ayres, Argentina,
situated in a' nessititicent building in
the Avenida. This buildiug is said to
be oue of the • most imposing inthe
world. It has a tower crowned by a
great golden statue of a youug woman
representing the Spirit of the Press.
The proudest possession of La Prensa
is a 5,000 horsepower steam operated
siren. ,Whenever there is an appalling
disaster—tile death of a crowned head
orother event of worldwide interest—
whoop goes La i'rettsa's siren and is
heard for a while throughout the city.

A Real Celebrity.
The local pride or the natives of Cape

takes the attitude of pity forall who

where. This. says a writer inthe Lew-
iston Journal. is known to regular

comer, who had joined the gathering
in the store, composed of fisherineuand

had come from Maine.

Precisely why the town of Bonifaclo,
in Corsica, is built to the sheer edge
of the cliff which forms the sett. flout

inland direction. The early Corsicana
apparently thought that farm land was
worth more than city real estate and
so crowded their dwellings to the dizzj•
edge of their 200 foot precipice. One's
first impression is that these houses,
with their walls on a vertical planewith the cliff, were purposely so situ-
ated that the body of a victim of a
dark vendetta murder might .be • con-
veniently dropped out of the window
into the sea beneath, with no one the
wiser. Certainly there is a suggestion
of romance and mystery ie the aspect
•of the town. It forms, at not ra'te,:one
of the oddest sky lines itt the world,

Bear punting..•
Bear bunting, with the assistauce of
guides supplied with a well . trained
pack of hounds, may be satisfactory it'
merely the killing of them •is desired.but it certainly is no' sport and de;
serves not even to be ranked with trap-
ping bears, as in the latter *casethe

knowledge of the quarry's habitat midhabits. Unlike a fox, :t bear, when
once ffouud by the hounds, stands no
etatnee whatever of escaping, arid.
there would be just as much sport it,t

The Poodle.
Why is a poodle, so culled? Solne
one says: "Probably the natural an-
swer would remit the. -old lady . who
said that no credit could be given
to Adam for naming the pig, since
anybody would have known *what to
call It. `Poodle' seems so obvious a
name for this dog. And, in fact, this
is not far from the truth about • the
origin of the word. It is quite recent
in English, not being found before
is
1804, apparently. It tide German
•pudel; which comes front the Low
German, `pudelu; to waddle, and the
dogmust have been so called, as Skeat
says. either because he waddles 'aftet
his master or because he looks fat' and
clumsy on account of his tltjek hair."

Coldness -of lee.
It seems strange to think that dome
ice is colder than other ice. The term
"lce cold" always seems to signify a
definite temperature. A11 -.water; under.
similar conditions freezes at a certain
definite temperature, But when the
thermometer falls below that it con-
tinues to affect the ice; making it hard
•er and colder. The test has been made
by placing a 'piece of ice from the
north and a. piece of ice formed in the.
vicinity of New :'York near a stove to-
gether. The former took much longer
to melt than the latter,
the .Remains. .

Long and Short Days.
At Hamburg,. Germany, the longest
day occupies seventeen hours and the
shortest seven, At. Stockholm, in Swe-
den, the longest has eighteen and a
halt hours and the shortest five and..a
half. At St. Petersburg the longest has
nineteen and the shortest five hours.
In Finland the longest has twenty -
0110 and a half hours. In the north-
ernmost parts of Norway the longest
day lasts from May. 21. to July 2, the
sun not sinking beiow- the horizon dur-
ing this period, but skimming along
very close to it in the north, At. Spit-
bergen the longest day lasts three
months and a half.
The Word rtPriviiete.'r'
"Privilege," seen so often of late in
the phrase "special privilege," has been .
tised commonly to signify .a right, im-
munity or benefit enjoyed by a person
beyond the common advantages of
other indlvlduals. Primarily, however,
the word signifies an ordinance in fag
vor . of an individual, and this is in
keeping with its derivation.-"privus,"
one's own, private, and "lex," law. It
is in this old sense that Chaucer uses
the word;
